Grim Fandango Namedropped on Channel Frederator

Episode 54 of the cartoon podcast Channel Frederator was about Dia de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead. And while the cartoons themselves were gorgeous and worth watching, the middle segment was a short live-action skit starring the goofy Frederator spokesman both as a college student and a professor.

The professor is attempting to determine what, if anything, the average student knows about the Day of the Dead.

“Aw, you’re talkin’ about that zombie game that just out for 360!” the student babbles, mentioning in a hushed whisper that there are chainsaws in the hardware store. Finally the professor resorts to visual aids, holding up a photograph of a traditionally-painted papier mache` skull.

“Grim Fandango!” exclaims the student, “Oldschool LucasArts game baby, yeah! I love those adventure games. That game was hella funny! And hella in 3D.”

Not much substance to this post, I know, but it warms my cockles whenever the LucasArts archive gets a shoutout.
